That was so good, as good as chocolate with the morning coffee or champagne and strawberries in the afternoon - an absolute treat! Your Harry is adorable:
He was a poof, or something like it, and apparently, he was sweet. Well, he didn't want to be sweet—he wanted to be manly. Hadn't sending Voldemort off to the netherworld given him any credibility at all?
Apparently, even that couldn't overcome being a sweetly clueless, twenty-year-old virgin with an uncertain sexual orientation.
So much love for this Harry, and he made me laugh, too. In a good way. And Snape, cat owner Snape who's learned what makes a pet a pet. *g* I love this version of him, a man who's made his peace and created something of his own. (Trust Harry to come and disturb it.)
Interesting new variation of a bond. I loved that it happened The moment in which Snape the monster had become Snape the man.
Most of all, though, I loved Xanthus Lovegood. He's a powerful character, one of the most powerful OCs I ever came across. I'd love to see more of him! (Don't get me wrong, he's perfect in this fic, but in another fic ... *g*)
"The Magically Unencumbered have the best of both worlds, you see. We have the ingenuity of Muggles, and the knowledge of wizards, and ours is a world full of limitless possibilities!"
This is just perfect. I honestly wonder why it isn't canon. It should be!
